Senate Begins Vote on Resolution to Remove US Forces From Iran Hostilities
H.Con.Res. 89 invokes the War Powers Resolution and would direct President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran.
The Senate began voting Thursday on a war-powers resolution that would direct President Donald Trump to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran, putting the measure at the center of the latest dispute over the administration’s military strategy.
The roll-call vote on H.Con.Res. 89 began at 1:45 p.m. ET (17:45 UTC). The resolution invokes Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution and calls for the withdrawal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
No final tally appeared in the Senate’s published roll-call list as of Thursday afternoon. The available congressional record therefore does not establish whether the measure passed or failed.
The vote follows a June Senate action that adopted a House-passed resolution calling for a halt to unauthorized military action. The materials do not establish an immediate effect on U.S.-Iran diplomacy, financial markets or crypto assets.
